I get he was traumatized from Jeremy assaulting him, but Lee was wrong for lying about what happened. He put an innocent man in prison for years and also caused his brother to miss out on having a father. Of course, it's also whomever failed to look at the DNA results accurately. I always wondered what happened to Lee. He made a false accusation which is a crime.
Lee was a little child then, too young to produce semen which is how the mom knew someone had been there, they won’t do anything to him, but how much older was the cousin? If he was 13 and the boy was 8, I don’t think he would have been arrested unless the boy or the mom pressed charges. After all, the 13 year old would have been the victim with an 18 year old, and the 8 year old would have been the perp with a 3 year old. They should definitely go after the lab guy who made the false id, McCoy did that with a fingerprint lab person.
Children under 12 aren’t prosecuted for crimes aside from homicide in NY. Should he have realized when he was older his childhood mistake? Yes. But then he was a traumatized kid and it’s unfortunately common for children to blame someone else for their assault if the criminal is a trusted and loved person. That’s why there are failsafes to make sure they charge the right person but unfortunately the failsafes to prevent mistakes like his failed (ie the dna evidence). And he’s portrayed in the show as trying to forget his trauma (like many victims).
Not sure. Anything could have happened to Lee at that point, since episodes usually never go beyond the ending on what happened next or such. But, if I had to make a wild guess, and forgive me for being blunt, I would say Lee would be disowned by his family, kicked out by his girlfriend once she learns the truth, over what he did. Its sad and terrible what his cousin did to him, but Lee had all this time to tell the truth, but he kept quiet over it this long due to jealousy of Baxter. He could have done the right thing, but he didnt, and his own mother said "She raised a son with no heart". If it were up to me, I'd cast him out of the family for that. Anyway, just giving my thoughts on a possible aftermath of the episode.
false accusers who were never victimized need to be charged, sued and imprisoned for ruining people's lives, making it worse for real victims to be believed and get justice and wasting everyone's time. they always get away without any consequences for lying. it's disgusting.
The only true victim in this case was the character played by Stephen Lang. The guy did nothing to Lee, yet he was accused, tried, and convicted due to a false testimony and a lab tech who lied on his resumè. He lost his job, his girlfriend, the first decade of his own son's life, and his freedom because of lies. It wasn't until Benson did some actual digging into the case that the truth came forward. The marshall was horrified because he gave the order that nearly killed an innocent man. Seeing Jeremy be arrested for obstruction won't undo what happened, but both Jeremy and Lee have to live with the consequences now. Jeremy for being the true criminal and Lee for lying. Lee's mother and brother will want nothing from him after this.
@hihi615 Lee was a victim of his own selfishness. He didn't care at the time of how he hurt an innocent man, and ultimately, his mom and half-brother. It wasn't until he confessed to what he did that he saw the shock and pain in his mother's face when she learned that he had lied to her for years about what had truly happened. He was a victim, and I don't disagree. However, instead of telling the truth, Lee sent an innocent man to prison for a decade. Any sympathy he had going for him disappeared once the truth came forward.
"Better that nine guilty people live than one innocent person killed" is what some would say. "Better that one innocent person is punished than nine guilty people go free" is what others often counter with. Neither view discusses the same thing: One view is on the specific punishment of death, the other is on punishment in general. Neither view also discusses what happens when they are wrong: The former view does not imply or state what should be done when the innocent turns out to be actually guilty. The latter view does not imply or state what should be done when the guilty turns out to be actually innocent. Finally, neither view imposes self-reflection which is a mandatory trait for any system to improve or correct itself.
There is absolutely no excuse for pinning the blame on an innocent person. Idc if you're scared, you deserve jail as much as anyone else who falsely accuses someone.
Stephen Lang is born to play intense grizzled characters like Avatar, Don't Breathe, Don't Breathe 2, and The Monkey's Paw he gets killed in an accident and the Monkey's Paw brings him back as evil undead killer Stephen probably can't do a Family movie or a lighter character if his life depends on it but I could be wrong.
I'm sorry for what happened to the kid, but he deserves to go to prison for not only condemning an innocent man to a decade in prison but blaming him simply because he didn't like the guy being with his mother. My sympathy for him went out the window.
@@Kadasberry11 I have. I know it was his cousin. At the end of the episode, the kid even admitted to his mother that the guy was no good for her, that they were okay on their own before he came along.
Stephen Lang and Milo Ventimiglia BOTH in one episode that's fucking cool. Too bad SVU's gone woke and down the drain these were the good old days abd I'm learning to appreciate it.
Congrats! You win the prize for the shortest RUclips comment I've ever seen. 😄 Funny thing, just last week I saw the longest one I've ever seen. After literally thirty seconds of scrolling, I gave up, so I can't say exactly how long it was though.

“We just kids. We were just messing around” That is a freaking cop out
Lee is guilty too. He knew the guy was innocent.

And besides, Lee revealed that Jeremy made him keep it all a secret.

His mother was FURIOUS. She accused him of having no heart
Poor Karen and Danny. Imagining finding out that your own son/brother did such a horrible thing to the love of your life/your father.
Such a underrated actor is Stephen Lang.
He was soo good in avatar

He was raped he just lied about who did it
He _was_ a victim, Baxter was also a victim.
He was a victim and a CHILD at the time also this is tv
I agree. People who coach children too. The laws needs reformed.

I feel as though Lee was a victim too, doesnt take away that what he did was horrible, but it also doesn't diminish that hes a victim as well

Watch the whole episode. The person who actually did it groomed the victim to believe the lie. Believe something long enough and it becomes true…
